Miyamoto, Shufu (1950 - Present)

Known for his dreamlike landscapes, Shufu Miyamoto is a leading contemporary woodblock printmaker. Born in Fukuoka prefecture, he originally studied oil painting with Osamu Ioka. Miyamoto began his exploration of printmaking through lithography and silkscreen, yet found his medium as a woodblock print artist. He uses gentle hues and extensive bokashi, a technique of color gradation, to achieve romantic atmospheres. Miyamoto’s works can be found in collections around the world, such as the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Auckland Museum in New Zealand.

Sosaku Hanga | Post-WWII Japanese Prints

The Sosaku Hanga or “creative print” movement emerged in the changing Japan of the early 20th century. The movement arose from a central tenant: the artist must participate in every aspect of production. As artists shed the traditional delegation of ukiyo-e production and explored each role themselves, the act of printmaking adopted a more spontaneous, expressive attitude. Artists explored with the knife, chisel, woodblock, and ink to push to the boundaries of their medium. Originally excluded from Japan’s formal art world, Sosaku Hanga began on the pages of magazines. It was not until 1919 that the first Sosaku Hanga exhibition opened in Tokyo. Ranging from figural to abstract, the movement flourished after WWII, and found a new, eager audience among American GIs. In this collection, Ronin Gallery presents masters of Sosaku Hanga such as Onchi, Ono, Munakata, Saito, Sekino, and Mori, as well as other post-war Japanese printmakers.
